The doubly amazing thing here, besides confessing that he had Mueller as his motive (this is like a redux of the NBC interview about Comey) is DC tried to give him the plausible out of saying he would soon appoint someone with a record, like Christie. But no, Trump would have none of that...Slapdash said:

Your link wasn't right. You meant to link this:

What in th'? That was definitely a Politico story when I read it.
Whatevs. That is the right story. Thanks for cleaning up after me again Henry. Do you do windows?

It may be on politico, but your link links back to footballguys.
And if you mean have I ever had sexual relations with a window, I would thank you to keep your questions to yourself and ask that in the future you refrain from speaking to my neighbor.

Businessman not named Trump under investigation, seeks declaration of Whitaker as illegally appointed.
- There’s probably going to be a lot of this.

Is that the second such suit? I remember catching the tail end of a report about something similar yesterday, but I don’t recall the particulars of the case. It seems like a brilliant idea.

Yes the state of Maryland has made a motion seeking a declaration of the appropriateness of the appointment in an ongoing case. Potentially anything the DOJ does at Whitaker’s instruction could be illegal. It can arise in almost any situation.

Right. Thanks. I think you’re dead on that we will see a lot of these filings.

Mueller’s team typically does not disclose anything in these court findings until they are publicly known. A reasonable assumption would be that between tomorrow and 11/26 someone is going to get indicted based on the cooperation of Manafort. But that doesn’t really narrow it down because Manafort likely has info on Stone, Jr and just about anyone else.

Won’t matter in terms of Trump will not face removal from office as a result of all this, I 100% agree with you.
Won’t matter in terms of this will continue to damage Trump’s reputation among everyone but his most rabid fans, making his re-election chances far more unlikely than they would be without this investigation, and very possibly placing a permanent historical stain on this Presidency if collusion and obstruction turn out to be true- I disagree with you. I think it will matter.

A lot of buzz and trump is eating pancakes...they can’t answer some of mueller written questions likely because it would be admitting to a crime...interesting times.

Didn't Trump at one point reportedly state that only Manafort had the goods on him - back when Manafort wasn't cooperating?

I find that last part difficult to believe.
I expect a lot of "I don't recall" in Trump's answers, which may be perjury, but difficult to prove, but its not admitting to a crime....

NYT on the accidental filing about Assange.
>>While the filing started out referencing Mr. Kokayi, federal prosecutors abruptly switched on its second page to discussing the fact that someone named “Assange” had been secretly indicted, and went on to make clear that this person was the subject of significant publicity, lived abroad and would need to be extradited — suggesting that prosecutors had inadvertently pasted text from a similar court filing into the wrong document and then filed it.<<
- Apparently the same lawyer was in 2 cases.
- It’s not clear if Assange has been charged, this could have been from a draft for Assange. Or maybe he just had ‘Assange’ on the brain and wrote that instead of the actual defendant’s name.
- Even if Assange has been indicted, it’s not clear for what - Manning, or the election, or Vault7/Schulte, or some or all of that.
- eta: >>People familiar with the matter said what Dwyer was disclosing was true, but unintentional.<< - WaPo

Posted in another thread it apparently is day 666 of Trump's administration. So likely it's mostly
squistion

Not unexpected given the number of unhinged Tweets Trump did yesterday concerning the Mueller investigation, as if he is expecting the other shoe to drop, or a closet full of them.

Trump was just asked about this. He replied "My lawyers aren't working on that, I'M working on that, I write the answers, my lawyers don't write answers, I write answers. I was asked a series of questions, I answered them very easily, very easily. I'm sure they're tripped up because you know they like to catch people gee(?) with the weather sunny or was it rainy. He said it may have been a good day it was rainy therefore he told a lie! He perjured himself! Okay so, uh, you always have to be careful when you answer questions with people who probably have bad intentions. But uh,no it's ahh the questions were very routinely answered by me. "
Way to paint yourself into a corner you buffoon.

Assuming that's a real quote... It's still shocking how often I read a Trump quote and think to myself "if I heard someone talking like that in my office, I'd think he's a moron."Trump was just asked about this. He replied "My lawyers aren't working on that, I'M working on that, I write the answers, my lawyers don't write answers, I write answers. I was asked a series of questions, I answered them very easily, very easily. I'm sure they're tripped up because you know they like to catch people gee(?) with the weather sunny or was it rainy.
